Chapter 2699 - Negotiation    



Chapter 2699: Negotiation

After the battle, the busiest person was Ye Xinxia.

The members of the Fanxue mountain and the elite teams had both fought very bravely. Most of them had been severely wounded in the battle. Many suffered so much that they wished to end their lives to be rid of the pain.

Xinxia had been to many battlefields and knew of the hardships after it was over. She asked the outsiders of Fanxue Mountain to gather all the wounded together and cast the Song of Tranquility on them. It relieved their pain and stimulated their consciousness so that they would not give up easily.

The battle had lasted for over a few hours but the aftereffects would be felt for years. Fortunately, some Folk Mages from Flying Bird Base City arrived and volunteered their services.

The high-level executives of Flying Bird Base City only stood by and watched. After Fanxue Mountain had won, they jumped up and sent some Healing mages to show that they were friendly.

The status of Fanxue Mountain in Flying Bird Base City might possibly change after this war. Those organizations that fawned upon the rich and powerful would no longer cause trouble on Fanxue Mountain. Fanxue Mountain had shown today that there was mercy for those who sought to harm them, after all.

Fanxue Mountain was a private territory which existed even before the Flying Bird Base City was established. Even if they came from the law or the Mage Convention, intruders would not be speared. The leaders would execute them.

Many had sought to go against Fanxue Mountain. They had joined forces and attacked. In the end, most had died. Even if they managed to escape, they disbanded. Even those people who had not watched the battle knew the strength of Fanxue Mountain once and for all.

This was no longer a small family. They were far stronger than anyone had ever imagined, and they were definitely not the pushovers that people thought they were.

Fanxue Mountain was destined to be different from the past after this battle.

After the battle, there were simply too many things to handle. Mu Ningxue especially wanted to appease the members of Fanxue Mountain.

Before Mo Fan had a chance to catch a breath, she gave him a difficult task to handle. It was to have tea with the high-level executives of the Flying Bird Base City.

In the past, Fanxue Mountain had often been invited to tea by the leaders of the Flying Bird Base City. It was mostly when they needed their help.

It was different this time. It was Fanxue Mountain who invited the leaders to have tea with them.

Mo Fan made an appointment at Bo City Street. This was the place where Mu Zhuoyun and Mu Linsheng had settled the residents of Bo City. It was a very prosperous neighborhood. Bo City had an atmosphere of the little Mountain City it used to be back then.

The appointment was for nine in the morning, but Mo Fan arrived sharply at eight. It was not that he needed to prepare for the meeting but he wanted to discuss with Zhao Manyan and Mu bai about how to initiate the talk of compensation peacefully.

The Deputy Head, Zhou Yi, was also present. Before anyone else showed up, he shivered as though he was already cold.

Zhou Yi used to be Lin Kang’s subordinate. Not only was he the head of the South Wing Mage Group, but he was also the Deputy Head of the North City Legion. Lin Kang had died. It didn’t matter whether it was because of the anger of Fanxue Mountain or the dissatisfaction of the leaders, everything was vented on him.

“Sirs, I must have been greatly confused to have followed Lin Kang in committing such a crime. But I beg you to be merciful to the leaders when they arrive. I have been in the North City for some years and deal with Fanxue Mountain frequently. After Lin Kang came to power, I was forced to do something against my will. Please forgive me,” said Zhou Yi, the Deputy Head, apologetically. The status of the Deputy Head was considered high but he was no more than an errand boy for the powerful.

“You don’t even sound grateful to the Fanxue Mountain for sparing your life, and here you are, making demands,” Mo Fan said, with his eyebrows raised.

Deputy Head Zhou Yi was in charge of many mage organizations in the North City, and he also held a significant position in the Magic Association. He was part of the crusade against the Fanxue Mountain.

Zhou Yi seemed to have gone cold at Mo Fan’s words.

Mo Fan was a devil. He had even killed Zhao Jing.

He had returned saying that Zhao Jing had escaped from him. But Zhou Yi knew! Only Mo Fan had returned alive from that fight.

“I must obey the military order no matter what. I will be killed if I disobey. When Lin Kang came to the North City, he was too autocratic. It would have been so easy for him to get rid of me. Fortunately, you, as leaders of Fanxue Mountain, got rid of him. Otherwise, North City would still have been in chaos,” said Zhou Yi.

Mo Fan did not bother with his flattery. He turned to Zhao Manyan and Mu Linsheng to discuss how to negotiate with the Flying Bird Base City officials.

Mu Bai stood at one side. After killing Lin Kang, his mental state had turned a little strange. He was still affected by the abyss but would be fine in a few days.

Zhou Yi did not dare take a breath in fear of these hot-blooded leaders. He had never thought Mu Bai was capable of getting rid of Lin Kang. How strong was he actually?

“Chief Mu,” said Zhou Yi. “I… um… for the sake of me evacuating the North City Legion from the battlefield…”

“You and I both know what kind of a person Lin Kang was,” said Mu Bai. “When the leaders arrive in a while, you can tell them about what Lin Kang had done and give justice to Fanxue Mountain. Of course, if you remain truthful, we won’t embarrass you.”

“Of course. That is my duty,” said Zhou Yi and let out a relieved sigh. “Lin Kang has committed many crimes. This time, I will expose him.”

The door opened and five majestic people walked in. They seemed to have met just before reaching this place and decided to enter the tearoom together.

These people were of very high importance. Some of them had long been in charge of Fanxue Mountain before, and some had been recruited just recently. But to Mo Fan, they were all unfamiliar. After Shao Zheng resigned, the bureaucratic system and the parliamentary system had undergone drastic change.

“Who are they?” Mo Fan asked Mu Linsheng.

Mu Linsheng was humbled by the presence of the five leaders. “This is the Great General of the Flying Bird Base City, General Li Shou. This is Councilman Tang. This is the president of the Flying Bird Magic Association, President Jiang Shuihan. This one is Old He from Clan Alliance. And this is the Deputy Mayor Nanrong Xishan,” introduced Mu Linsheng.

“As the head of Fanxue Mountain, how do you not know us?” Councilman Tang asked indifferently.

“I only remember some of the leaders from the past.” Mo Fan couldn’t care less of the tone he used. Not after what they had done.

Councilman Tang frowned with dissatisfaction. He did not say anything further. He pulled out a chair and sat across from Mo Fan, facing him.

It was the first time in his life that Councilman Tang had been called for tea by a junior. Unfortunately, this time he had to oblige. But it did not mean they had come to be accused and held accountable by the Fanxue Mountain. Fanxue Mountain wasn’t as qualified to do that yet.

Even bigwigs, who weren’t from the capital, knew about that. They had to come to this tea just to diffuse the situation.
